… loads more to help foodpreneurs get their products on retail shelves, land in more consumer baskets and put more money in their pockets!

We invite you to get glued to a seat and take in all that our ‘mistake-saving’ speakers and industry experts have to share; or put yourself and your product in the spotlight at one of our promotion zones.

Wherever you land, you’re sure to gain valuable insights and practical tips to help you successfully scale your packaged food & drink business.

But that’s not all! Foodpreneurs Festival is hosting a thrilling event for brand owners to take their shot at coming face-to-face with retail buyers and getting their food, drink or pet food products listed on retail shelves.

Buyers in our Pitch Hub* are representing thousands of stockists from a range of major independent supermarket and department store brands from Australia, USA, Canada, Europe and the UK for foodpreneurs to pitch* to at Foodpreneurs Festival on 17 May.

It’s an opportunity not to be missed!

At Foodpreneurs Festival HQ, we know no one has spare time to be traversing the country, scrolling through Facebook pages or hoping trade shows will be their one-stop-shop for sales domination (because they won’t be!), so we’ve created a Festival that provides you with the perfect opportunity to work ‘on’ your business by doing a year’s worth of sales and promotion, in one day, with all the right people, under one roof!

So come and join us and soak up the vibrant atmosphere and connect with fellow foodpreneurs.
